M I N D TRIP

An attempt to describe the feeling in my anxiety dream... My dreams are full of that awful anxiety feeling

M I N D
 TRIP

 

A dream of Voice;

Clawing for Volume
An itch to be Listened,
screeching at Chance.
                                   

Panic holts Voice-
Jumbling, jumping
Stuffing sound up
running sound down

Distress washes in
contorts, Confuses;
Controlling callously.

Awoken,

Pressure dissolves
‘till next challenge due
Where Voice,

it cannot Flee.

Author's Note

Not as powerful as I would have liked, but had to get this feeling out from inside me!

This kinda reminds me of something I read the other day about selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Do you work or study in the medical field by any chance? Or are you just a crazy person?

Well institutionalized crazy people almost seem like doctors to me sometimes. Sometimes.

Crazy person for sure...

Woah, this poem made my heart race a little. The structure starts off horizontal but not exactly safe: the capital letters in the first four stanzas gave the lines the appearance of a rocky cliff and then there's the seven stanzas that are positioned so far underneath which gives me the thought that there's nothing there to catch my fall and then the final five lines are the place where you could end up SPLAT! if you aren't careful.

The words of the poem describes very well what you've stated about anxiety but it also tells of the severity with which it comes - like some demonic force that comes each night which you often fight to ignore but eventually must, and then you struggle till you're awake and you calm down and realize you were dreaming but know full well that it'll happen again, and again, and again... because the nightmare's never truly over...

Wow.. Thank you for your kind words and such an in-depth review! I agree, the nightmare is never truly over..! Thanks :)
